As Black Holes Eat Stars, They Shoot Death Rays of Plasma Into Space Published Nov 02, 2017 at 11:26 AM EDT Updated Nov 02, 2017 at 12:08 PM EDT An artist’s depiction of a black hole and its ...

They watched as the star was first sucked in by a supermassive black hole, and then saw a fast-moving amount of plasma escaped from the black hole’s rim or event horizon. This disruption event ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a massive plasma jet erupting from the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This “blow-torch”-like jet, traveling near the speed of ...

Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

The scientists studied a black hole system consisting of a stellar-mass black hole and a sun-like star orbiting each other. In this system, 5 or 6 jets occur over a period of about 20 days, making ...

The 2000 science fiction film Pitch Black (now streaming on Peacock!) launched The Chronicles of Riddick franchise and introduced the world to Richard B. Riddick, as played by Vin Diesel. In the ...

Astronomers have seen a supermassive black hole give off a plasma burp while chowing down on a star, in an "extremely rare" event. Scientists have watched black holes devouring stars that get too ...

Scientists discovered this black hole and its companion star after an explosive release of radiation in 1989, Miller-Jones and his colleagues said.

Astronomers in Hawaii, Baltimore and Oxford witnessed the black hole in the centre of galaxy PGC 43234, 300 million light-years away from Earth trapping a nearby star.

Instead, upon entering the black hole, objects start rotating in a process called “frame-dragging,” which swirls surrounding plasma into spiraling accretion disks.

Stars could be sliced in half by "relativistic blades," or ultra-powerful outflows of plasma shaped by extremely strong magnetic fields, an unpublished paper claims.

A black hole has been ‘ giving birth to stars in a nearby dwarf galaxy.. The study shows that black holes are not always the violent and destructive objects they are usually known as. Instead ...
